Profile
Species: Cyborg crocodilian
Birthday: August 8
Gender: Agender
Pronouns: it/its
Occupation: Hobbyist toymaker, bogged down by its buggy programming and erosion of its sense of self
Physical Description
- Has so many mechanical components it may as well not even be classified as a cyborg anymore
- Fallen into disrepair - one eye is malfunctioning, most of its mechanical components show scratches and rust
- When its dark blue scales and claws are powered, they glow bright blue and become hot enough that Freako could make "1000 DEGREE KNIFE" videos if it wanted
- It sometimes wields a large sword in its left hand
- If it hooks up the sword's wires to itself, the powered sword can also function as a buzzsaw!
- Freako's a flamethrower! How does it work?
- It has two tanks in its chest that contain fuel (which can be replaced when they run low)
- The fuel is pushed upward into its stretchy throat sac, where a heated coil of wire ignites the fuel
- The resulting stream of fire is expelled through the nozzle in its mouth
- Produces noise with the speaker on its chest - uses it to talk (sounds like a text-to-speech program) and play music / sound effects sometimes
- Smells like rust, petroleum, and burning hair
Personality
- Considers itself more inanimate object than living creature at this point
- Slightly deranged from a series of existential crises that it couldn't resolve
- Am I even alive, or just a series of parts???
- If I take myself apart and put myself back together, will I still be myself??
- Could I make another me?? If I can, and I'm not unique, does that mean I'm not a person??
- etc. etc. Freako's having a hard time straddling the line between robot and organism and now it's not sure what to think (it's not even sure it thinks, honestly)
- Gets very focused on whatever it decides to do next
- It sort of programs itself as it goes - its rational, conscious mind decides to do something, and the part of its mind that's essentially a robot keeps it doing that thing until the rational mind summons enough strength to break out of that and do something else
- Has no chill - if someone or something is doing something it doesn't like (especially something that interrupts or keeps it from doing that thing it wants to do), it screams and attacks until whatever it is stops
- ...Or until it realizes the thing can't be stopped (like a rainstorm, for example), snaps itself out of its self-programming, and sulks until it's over
Likes
- Whatever it's programmed itself to be doing right now
- Hoarding music boxes and old toy parts
- Rearranging the toy parts into new toys
- Sometimes they look passable, sometimes they look like something Sid from Toy Story would make
Dislikes
- Having company ("ooh, let's go in the old abandoned place on a poorly-thought-out teenager dare!")
- Being interrupted
- WATER
- It's not very confident in the integrity of its circuitry, and really doesn't want to fry itself
Personal Info
- Lives in a derelict old toy factory
- Considers One Eye's Factory a "competitor," even though One Eye doesn't even make toys
- It picked out its name for itself
- "Freako" reminds it of gross-out toys from the 80's and 90's (think Garbage Pail Kids), which it really likes
Trivia
- If Freako was in a Disney movie, it would be the surprisingly frightening villain of an otherwise tame and cutesy story
- One Eye doesn't let anyone from his Factory come near Freako, and uses it as a cautionary tale about becoming more machine than man and not handling it well
- I had this guy in the works for a while but didn't post it anywhere until it had a name and a color scheme
Date of Creation / Adoption: Sometime in 2016, between the time I adopted Gummi and the time I created Lace
